This album was released 7 years ago, in 2001. It's Mikaila's only album since then. It's similar to Christina Aguilera's debut album. It's full of nice teen-pop tracks and Mikaila has a very good voice.

Keyshia Cole is my favorite singer, I usually love every song she sings.
I was amazed when I 1st heard this album. I really loved her debut album as well, but she has improved a lot since then. Her voice and her style has matured a lot, but she's still the same girl.
Let It Go, the 1st single off the album is a great upbeat song. At 1st I didn't like it that much, but it has grown on me. Didn't I Tell You is one of the best songs on this album. It's a great song, very rhythmic, a club banger, that should've been released as a single. Fallin' Out is one of my fave KC songs ever! It's so beautiful and cathy. I just love her voice on it and the melody of the song. I Remember is the "Love" of Just Like You. It's like "Love" on her 1st album. A beautiful, painful ballad. On the 2nd single, Shoulda Let You Go Keyshia introduces her best friend, Amina, who raps on the track. I was addicted to the track when I 1st heard it, but now it isn't my biggest favorite. But I still like it. The 4th single, Heaven Sent is a beautiful track as well.
Was It Worth It is one of the best KC tracks IMO. It reminds me of Alicia Keys. I could imagine it as a single as well.
Diddy's track, Last Night was my favorite song in late 2006 and in 2007. It's a great club song!
I really love the iTunes bonus track Trust. It's an amazing mid-tempo song, the sound of it is similar to Fallin' Out. It should've been an album track not just a bonus.
The international deluxe version of the album features the singles and the best track from KC's debut album "The Way It Is" and the original version of "Just Like You". That version is great for those, who aren't big KC fans, but want to get to know her.
I think every R&B fan must have this album!

Prima J are Mexican-American cousins Jessica and Janelle Martinez. Their 1st single was Rockstar that was featured on a soundtrack. I remember that I checked out that track back then, but I didn't really pay attention to it. Then I've heard their 1st single off this album Nadie (No One) that's the Spanglish cover of Alicia Keys' hit single. I love Alicia's song and I love Prima J's cover as well. It's my fave song on the album. There should be more Spanish songs on it!
The 2nd single Corazon (You're Not Alone) is a nice track as well.
The majority of the album is uptempo, but there are some mid-tempo songs as well. I like almost all tracks of the album. Leftovers is a great, catchy song, Inside Out is a slower jam. Girlfriend and Boom are a bit weird, but I like them. Flip The Script and Homework are mid-tempo tracks. I like both. The only tracks I don't really like are Chilosa, that is a bit annoying and Infatuated that is a bit boring.
I like their style, their sound. I think they are a very good new group! Check them out! I'm a Prima J fan now!

Maria Haukaas Storeng is a Norwegian pop singer. She gained national recognition in 2004 for her participation in the Idol reality television series, and then again in 2008 as Norway's representative in the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest, where she performed "Hold On Be Strong". I really like that song, and I saw some of her Idol performances on YouTube, and those are very good as well.

I've never been an Ashanti fan, and I've always thought she can't sing. I've never really cared about her and I haven't heard any of her albums yet, except this one and her Xmas album.
The 1st single, The Way That I Love You is a kinda good track, but I don't like that she's screaming on it a lot. Anyway, I can hear that she improved vocally. But she doesn't have to scream to let us know that she can sing...
Body On Me is a kinda good track as well, it's a nice summer song, but I think Akon sings too much on it, and his voice is annoying.
Mother is a very nice ballad dedicated to Ashanti's mom, and we can hear that her voice has improved a lot! She sounds very good on this song and on the next track, Shine, too. That song is a bit boring, but nice.
Hey Baby (After The Club) was released as a promotional single, and it was to be the 1st single, but it was cancelled. Now it's the international bonus track of the album. The song is produced by Mario Winans and is very similar to one of his another productions, Last Night by Keyshia Cole and Diddy. That's why I like it. I prefer the KC & Diddy song, but this one is very good as well.
I like Good Good as well. It's not a big song, but it's catchy and I kinda like it. It isn't the best track on the album, but it's one of the good tracks.
So Over You is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and I kinda like Your Gonna Miss, too. Girlfriend is an interesting track.... I like the melody and it's catchy, but I don't really like the sound.
These track are that I like, the others aren't that good. Anyways, I didn't expect this album to be this good.

Debelah Morgan is an American R&B singer, who has released 2 albums, but had only one hit single, "Dance With Me". That song is really hot and she has a wonderful voice! She should've been much more successful. I have her latest album "Dance With Me", that was released in 2000 and there are many good songs on it. Since 2000 I haven't heard anything 'bout her... :( I really hope she'll get back to the music industry!
